  • Patent number: 11098871
    Abstract: A headlamp for vehicles comprising at least one light source for generating at least one light beam, a scanning device for one-dimensionally scanning the at least one light beam bidirectionally in a scanning direction, and an array of optical elements arranged side by side in a direction that corresponds to the scanning direction so that the at least one light beam impinges on the optical elements successively. At least some of the optical elements are designed to expand the at least one light beam in a direction perpendicular to the direction, in which the optical elements are arranged side by side.

  • Patent number: 8657466
    Abstract: An illumination device comprising a housing positionable at a distance from an area to be illuminated and having at least one lighting module, on a support in the housing, that has lighting units having the same light distribution characteristics. Each of the lighting units contains lighting elements and associated lenses arranged in front of the same in the light-emitting direction. Different lighting modules may include lighting units having different light distribution characteristics, while the lighting units have optical axes running parallel to each other. At least one lighting unit is configured such that its light distribution characteristics have at least one asymmetrical section relative to a central plane of the lighting unit.
